The B-29 Superfortress 'Bucket-A Bolts,' identifiable by its checkerboard nose marking and hand-painted name, rests on the ramp between missions. The B-29 was the Army Air Forces' most advanced heavy bomber of World War II, spearheading the strategic bombing campaign against Japan, and playful nose art like this helped crews personalize their aircraft amid the demands of combat operations.
